No Second Season
Although it shouldn't be a surprise that 1.5 rating show will not have a second season, an "On the Lot" moderator announced today that the forums will be closed in five days.
"On the Lot" joins "Situation: Comedy" and "Project Greenlight" as shows that overestimated the public's interest in people behind the camera.
The majority of people just want to be entertained. They don't care about the mechanisms involved to achieve that.
It's similar to buying fast food. You just want your food and you want it to taste reasonably good. You don't care about the fry cook and the drama he or she has with the cashier.
Anyone who has been to film school knows that watching your peers short films can be an awful experience. It's odd that someone thought that would make a good TV show.
